Top Ten Reasons Why Super Mario Galaxy Is Bad

Chaotixhero

The Top Ten

1Princess Peach Gets Kidnapped Again

Yeah I know, but come on guys, this is in EVERY Mario GAME guys, it is obviously gonna be the problem in any Mario game. Frankly, because of the cinematics and great game thematics and elements, the kidnapping this game is better than in most games. It is an actually epic display and if it wasn't in every game, it would be interesting and awesome. Stop complaining because this game has a much higher quality than standard Mario games, and those are still good, so this one must be great if it is a step up from good games. If you want creativity, go play the Paper Mario and Mario and Luigi series, as they are AMAZING games with awesome and actually original storylines (and also Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars, just didn't say it before because it is not part of a series). This game has the best GAMEPLAY for a Mario game and that's what really matters. The story isn't even that bad anyway, and even though it isn't original, it has higher quality and cinematics than most Mario ...more

I totally agree. Every Mario plot is the same anyway so I expected it anyway because it no surprise. Princess peach is worst then princess Elise and that is saying a whole lot

There could have been... BETTER IDEAS FOR Mario GALAXY. How about one where Mario and Bowser work together to stop a evil overlord from taking over the galaxy. That would have been fine but no they go with the same plot. Why does every Mario plot is the same? It getting old - Chaotixhero

Princess Peach is suppose to get kidnapped! That’s her purpose! Without her, Mario would have no reason to fight Mario for half of his games!

The controls themselves aren't bad, but I always hated using the nunchuck for a big adventure in need of many control inputs like this, so I always disliked these controls. Anyway, this is actually the only thing remotely bad about this game, it is a really solid game.

The controls are easy yes but nothing special at all - Chaotixhero

The easier the controls the better. Why does the control need to be special? - Hakros323

The controls are TOO easy. The controls are too easy that it not that much fun... OK sure it is but I guess the controls are not special (compared to other games) is because there's nothing much to it except the power-ups

It would be at least passable if it had non motion controls. Instead, it's bad.

Whoever made this comment under me is a Daisy Fan. I have news for you. Daisy hasn't been appearing in SEVERAL GAMES. Why! Cause of her bratty fans. Waluigi? Nope. Cause of his bratty fans. And it's not fair to judge a character based on their fanbase. Why does every character have to be loud and annoying? Why can people simply understand why she's bland and quiet? Does anyone listen to the stories anymore? Do I ask to many questions? - DCfnaf

This was a comment made by an immature Daisy fan. Rosalina is not a parasite. She is a queen and controls the universe. Sure, I like Daisy to, but there are good Rosalina and daisy fans and bad Rosalina and Daisy fans. Rosalina is quiet because she lost her mother. She hasn't hade an easy childhood. If YOU were Rosalina, I think you would be quiet too. This is not offending any character in any way, I am just telling you that you can't always hate chracters because of their fanbase. And yes, Rosalina hate is going way to far. Save all the hate.

Nintendo unleashed a parasite with this game. I hope they get rid of Rosalina I really don't understand why they keep shoving her down our throats.

Get your facts right mario Galax came out in 2007 sonic lost wold came out In 2014 7 years later - epictoonsfan1

Bull. It is very innovative, just like Super Mari Sunshine and Super Mario 64! - HeavyDonkeyKong

Going into space, spinning using a luma (a baby star) under your hat to attack and launch yourself from Launch stars (that were Lumas before), using a cursor to shoot star bits to confuse enemies and feed special Lumas to become galaxys, collecting power stars to light a beckon in the middle of the comet observatory (that was shut down by bowser) so you could find your way to the engine room and power it up so you, the toad brigade (a group a toads consisting of the smart one, the working/banker one, the sleeping one who sometimes gives you half an awnser to an important question before sleeping again, the mail toad, the Captian who has a slightly big ego and HIS OWN GAME), and Roselina (the princess of the universe basically) could travel to the center of the universe to fight bowser and save the princess (from her own castle that bowser lifted with a UFO), AND the universe, is original.

This should be at least top 2. Seriously, what's the point of praising this game if liking Princess Peach's appearance instead of the gravity physics?!

I hate Peach, but I love the gameplay. You barely see Peach in the game, and you barely here her annoying voice (only when receiving letters). She's such a small part of the game that even remotely judging this game over her just doesn't seem to make sense to me... Super Mario Galaxy is one of my favorite video games of all time! - HeavyDonkeyKong

Most overrated game ever... until Galaxy 2.

There's no way this is top 20. Seriously, this should be at least top 3.

Alongside overrated sunshine kart7 and party.

10The Voice Acting

Ryan Yao (from Canucks Autism Network) would be a great voice actor for the Penguin Coach from both Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 and his sister Amy Yao could voice the child penguins.

Worster then Shadow the hedgehog and Super Mario sunshine. I agree with you chaotixhero. You're good. I prefer sonic lost world more because at least that game got decent voice acting

I wish the Mario games have extensive voice acting again. Also, here's the worst part of the voice acting: Princess Peach's voice!

Ehh... There's not much talking in SMG it's mostly Mario speaking while you move around and there's no problem with his voice actor.

In the beginning when I heard Peach... As much as I like her, MY GOD WHY!?

Boo Mario is an awesome power up! The ability to be a boo is awesome. Spring Mario sucks though as it's uncontrollable and Bee Mario feels slow flying and is pretty useless besides for climbing on honey walls.

The only thing that is fair here is that the terrible power ups are terrible.

Who ever put this here, Thank you! I don't care what some of you will say, Sonic lost world is way better and just because it on the Wii U doesn't mean it has worst controls. The controls are great once you get use to them and at least sonic lost world has challenge while Mario galaxy is a cakewalk

I agree strongly. Super Mario Galaxy is awful & would've been a perfect game until Princess Peach was in this game instead of Princess Daisy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 exists.

Sonic lost world is boring. The gravity gimick is a rip off, and barley any speed, and the whips were just added with no story to them or anything just to add more use for the gamepacd

That how I feel about super Mario Galaxy. Everything what you said except almost something - Chaotixhero

Agreed she is only in ONE main game and heck I think Nintendo is gonna comepletely forget about her and why the heck in rosalina everywhere now? Its only been like 8 years and daisy has been around for 26! They did not even do anything for her 25th anniversary!

Princess Daisy is way better than Princess Peach. And you may know why.

Princess Daisy is a bad character, I can still agree.

Thank good she wasn't! I don't want no whinny, dumb, poser ruining a good game that has the goddess Rosalina in it!

Actually, it is hard to control on land see Nathaniel Bandy's video on Top 5 Worst Mario power ups/Smash bros items and he'll tell you all about the frog suit. But yes, along with the penguin suit, makes swimming much easier. - recaller

And I thought people hated the frog suit.

so what - YOSHIA2121

21Princess Peach's quotes

She barely has any! How does she ruin the game if she only appears a few times?!? - HeavyDonkeyKong

If she was voiced by Leslie Swan, you fanboys would probably love this game1You are hating an amazing game over one characters voice! WHY?!? - HeavyDonkeyKong

The one where you had to navigate Mario in a bubble away from bombs while over poisonus water was frusturating, I'll give you guys THAT one... - HeavyDonkeyKong

Agh I hate racing Shadow Mario in that first bee galaxy

28The Ending

The ending sure sucks! Re: after Princess Peach fall from the airship/being free from getting kidnapped, she gets very insane and angry at the beginning of the ending cutscene. I mean, come on! Peach was about to fall into the wormhole to die in here. This is all Peach's fault. Seriously, why doesn't she wear a bun?! The sequel should've had the end of the universe, not this game. Who knows? Maybe Super Mario Galaxy 3 will have a similar ending to Super Mario Galaxy. Also, guess what? It's not at all fair that Prince Peach just did not do anything in this game. And the Star Festival should have been in the sequel of Super Mario Galaxy instead.

Oh that ending... gave me a little tear. The third I like from this gameThe second is two of the levels and the first is the music - Chaotixhero

I would just like to say that there were no glitches that if found and that I read that this game is like sonic extreme but I also think that it used ideas from super Mario 128 so how is it a ripoff? - HeavyDonkeyKong

She didn't cause trouble she was too busy being held hostage. - HeavyDonkeyKong

She also gets kidnappe dis super Mario 64! But you seemed to like that! - HeavyDonkeyKong

My lord stop putting down Peach! She’s a sweetheart that cares for people like Mario and her friends! She’s the damsel in distress so she’s suppose to get captured so Mario can rescue her after his mission! Do you guys want to play as Mario and finish the game with no reward or purpose?

33This Game Was Supposed to Have the Same Graphics of Super Mario 64 (on the N64)

Super Mario 64 for the N64 has much better graphics. Galaxy has silly graphics and made Princess Peach look like a violent bastard.

Super Mario 64 is the best video game ever (mainly the N64 version).

Super Mario Galaxy was horrible in general. I so agree with this list.

This visitor is an idiot. Stop going on lists and trashing peach. We get it. - DCfnaf

Oh god why? Yes 64's graphics where good AT THE TIME but hello 2007 why would they have 64's graphics? Thank goodness they made it look so much better. I am still in awe when I play the game even in 2015!

The Wii ois more technically advanced than the Nintendo 64's graphics. If this game had the same graphics as 64, lot of people would probably complain in my opinion! Besides, Graphics are jsut a bonus! - HeavyDonkeyKong

I grew up with this game. Sorry. I can't agree with you - DCfnaf

34Princess Peach's Dress

Worst clothing in gaming, ever! Why get used to it?! This should be top 1.

Its also in Mario 64, which is awesome, but this game is awesome too! - HeavyDonkeyKong

That dress is in nearly every Mariog ame where she appears, including super Mario 64! So, why do you only hate the dress in this game? - HeavyDonkeyKong

35Lack of Crossover Characters

None of the main series games have crossover characters! - HeavyDonkeyKong

36The Increased Difficulty

Actually, I found Mario 64 and Mario sunshine harder than this! - HeavyDonkeyKong

37The Star Festival

38The CGI

IT'S A VIDEO GAME IDIOT! - GamingGoku757

39Princess Peach not freeing herself from being kidnapped

She didn't in super Mario 64 and you seem to be fine with that! - HeavyDonkeyKong

Bad character. Reason Amy rose is better!

SHE WAS IN THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE. HER WHOLE CASTLE WAS LIFTED. HOW WOULD SHE ESCAPE?

40This is the only game with Kamella in it

That would make it better than the other Mario games wouldn't it?

41Harder Than the Sequel

I actually found the sequel to be harder. - HeavyDonkeyKong

Well, itdoesdepend. Super Mario Galaxy is said to be not too hard for the average person. But Super Mario Galaxy 2 is proven with increased difficulty.

42Princess Peach's attributes

Worst things about Super Mario Galaxy ever! This should come in top 2.

So now the princess helping you is bad. I thought the princess didn't do it, and you hated that.

43The beginning

44Princess Peach ruining this game

Uh no she barley appears on screen =/

No, Rosalina haters ruin this game - yunafreya648

45Princess Peach gave us the evil eye in the beginning of the game

She sucks! I don't know why people would like this game's story!

Peach sucks but give me one scene where she did - HeavyDonkeyKong

No she didn't! She sucks but that neve rhappened! Giv eme one scene where it did! - HeavyDonkeyKong

And this is why Rosalina is better. MUCH better. She teaches us great lessons and that gals can be as strong as guys, but Princess Peach is VERY bad for kids. She teaches children to be extremely negative, grouchy (like she is), bossy, annoying and with that "There's nothing wrong with Princess Peach or any other girly-girl, tomboys are awful! " personality.

Peach isn't grouchy, she is just ditzy. That's why she sucks. ANd so does Daisy! Rosalina is awesome though! - HeavyDonkeyKong

"And this is why Rosalina is better. MUCH better. She teaches us great lessons and that gals can be as strong as guys, but Princess Peach is VERY bad for kids.

" personality."

Peach doesn't teach that lesson in Smash? Or SMRPG? Or a couple PM games? Or in SPP?

Peach is never negative or grouchy you Peach haters just pull bs out your ass to make your argument look better. She's always sweet, stopped a fight with tea, befriended and rescued Mimi despite Mimi being mean to her, invites Mario over to the castle for no reason... She's not bossy. If you think she is, then never ask for help, or expect your friend to do anything even if it's from a KIDNAPPER because than by your thinking your being 'bossy'. There IS NOTHING WRONG WITH GIRLY-GIRLS YOU DUMB HATERS and she has ...more

What are you talking about? Getting kidnapped = 'cowardice'? What are you people on? That is HORSECRAP! And if you think getting around Bowser and his minions to give Mario 1ups is 'cowardly' I don't know what to tell you. And I don't know how she was pessimist when she SAYS IN HER 1UP LETTERS THAT SHE KNOWS Mario WILL RESCUE HER!

HOW THE F IS ROSALINA COWARDLY? YOU ARE A DUMB JACKA**! SHE ALONG WITH Mario HEADED STRAIGHT FOR Bowser WITHOUT SHOWING ANY FEAR! JUST BECAUSE SHE STAYED IN THE SHIP DOESN'T MEAN JACK BECAUSE SHE HAD TO WATCH OVER THE LUMA'S AND THE SHIP! ROSALINA IS NOT COWARDLY DUMBA**!
